@bassplayer94can Yes, the sponge got wrapped up in the roll of film. This has happened to me too. The sponge is there to keep the roll tight. You can use a bit of cardboard, like one of the flaps from the film box, and fold it over 2 or 3 times. Then tuck it under the takeup spool. This will keep tension on the spool, so it will roll tight. It's a good idea to put a bit of cardboard under the film spool too.

@covrace The film spools are usually better, but the Holga comes with a decent spool. It only matters on the first roll, because after that, each new takeup spool is from the previous roll of film.

Hey Kai, you know the spnge inside the holga? I kinda lost it. Then i tried to replace it with a piece of scoth-brite(bright?)Cause the film that I took ut of the camera was kinda loose.. Anyway I opened the back of my holga and that's when magic happened. The scoth-brite was vanished!! So was the first one... And the film was kinda thick. So maybe it's rolled inside the film? That is soo annoying :/ Can I just use my holga without that sponge??

@lenadrt88 Yes, this video applies to the newer 120CFN. The improvements to the camera does not change the basic operation. Most people will wind to the next frame after taking a picture, so that the camera will be ready the next time they pick it up to take a picture. You could advance to the next frame right before taking the photo, if you want to. The important thing being that you consistently do the same thing every time, so you won't have to guess if you've advanced the film already.

@sdtfruggfh With 120 film, you can unload in subdued light. If you must change film out in the field, use your body to shade the camera and film.

Hey, what about unloading a Holga 120N with 35mm film? I got a converter for it, but my Holga doesn't rewind. How do you manually rewind??
